Clint Black is at the vanguard of modern country music, having been among the first to successfully blend the honky-tonk feel of Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell with the sound of current pop and rock. The one tune on this collection of his 1989-1996 work that he didn't write isn't a Williams or Frizzell tune or anything like that; it's a cover of the Eagles' "Desperado." There are three other previously-unreleased Black tracks here to go with a dozen hits that cover the highlights of his so-far very consistent, very modern career. All of Black's milestones are here, from the moody, atmospheric "Like The Rain" to the bluesy groove of "Half Way Up." Not just a pretty face with a cowboy hat, Black shows off the breadth of his compositional prowess, and a great workingman's voice. Along with Garth Brooks, Clint Black was part of the first wave of "hat acts"--cowboy-hatted hunks singing country music influenced as much by classic rock and pop as by George and Merle. But as his first GREATEST HITS collection demonstrates, Black was one of the few "hat acts" who had more than a pretty smile underneath that lid. Unlike most country artists, Black writes all his own material, and the songs collected here are among his best: deeply emotional works filled with finely-wrought lyrics and original, yet catchy, melodies. GREATEST HITS spans Black's first five albums, including his brilliant debut single "A Better Man," the breezy "Summer's Comin'" and "State of Mind," the heartbroke ballad "Burn One Down," and his fine duet with Wynonna, "A Bad Goodbye." His knack for turning a phrase is evident in "Killin' Time" and its sequel, "No Time to Kill," as well as in "A Good Run of Bad Luck" and "Wherever You Go." GREATEST HITS also includes four bonus tracks: Black's great live version of the Eagles' "Desperado," "Like the Rain" and "Halfway Up" (with harmonies by his wife, actress Lisa Hartman Black) and "Cadillac Jack Favor," a story song which eventually inspired a TV movie.

  A Better Man?Review created: 01/17/00 by: patricialipski -- a member of Epinions  Pros: has all of his greatest hits on 1 cd Cons: none that i can think of The name Clint Black is very well known among Houston as he was born in Katy, Texas which is not too far from me. I have always liked Clint and every time he comes to the Astrodome for the rodeo I have been there. I have to admit he put on a better show when he was single and would wear his sexy cowboy hat when he sang. The reason I bought "The Greatest Hits" is because I value my dollar and will wait until a CD comes out with all my favorite songs with any of my favorite artists. I don't remember exactly when I bought this album but at the rate that I play it I will be buying a replacement soon. This album is similar to his others that carry just one or two(if you are lucky) of his hits. I really can't recommend his other albums because as I have already stated I am a penny pincher and want the most value for my dollar. My favorite song on the album is "A Bad Goodbye" with Wynonna Judd. The other artists that I can say that I like as well as Clint are Garth Brooks and George Strait. These guys sing with such emotion that you can feel their music come to life. Review ID: 10000000000249028 Epinions.com ratings are not included in the item's average rating.
